Description
Thread adapter, Type 18 is a PTFE laboratory thread adapter that converts a GL45 male thread to an R2'' BSP/G2'' male connection. Manufactured from polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), it provides chemical resistance suited to solvent handling, waste collection and process fluid transfer in analytical and preparative laboratory setups. The adapter supports secure coupling between GL45-necked bottles or vessels and larger BSP/G-style fittings commonly used on tubing, valves or collection systems. Supplied as a single piece from manufacturer SCAT, Type 18 is intended for routine laboratory use where inert polymer contact surfaces and reliable thread geometry are required. Its PTFE construction helps minimise interaction with aggressive media while maintaining dimensional stability under typical lab conditions. Ideal for solvent safety systems, bottle-to-line transitions and modular fluid paths in chemical and life-science workflows, this compact adapter integrates cleanly into existing glassware and tubing assemblies without introducing unnecessary metal contact.

Questions about Thread adapter, Type 18
What is this article?
Thread adapter, Type 18 is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes SCAT for laboratory use. It sits in Hose connectors, adapters & fittings, inside Tubing, hoses & fittings, in Matériel de laboratoire.
A hose connector or adapter joins two lines, or steps one bore down to another. The barb diameter has to match the tube, and the thread has to match the stopcock or the bottle. Most leaks are a mismatch here, not a hole in the tube.
Tubing is how a liquid or a gas moves between two vessels without being poured. Silicone stays flexible and survives repeated autoclaving. PTFE resists almost every solvent and is stiff. PVC is the ordinary flexible line for water and for mild aqueous work. The fitting, not the tube, is what usually leaks: the barb, the thread and the stopcock have to match the tube bore. Glass and plastic apparatus around these lines is indexed under ISO laboratory ware.
